Stacey hosted a surprise baby shower for Leslie. She decorated her home with a baby boy banner and yellow and blue balloons and streamers. Margo brought a delicious Chocolate Mousse Cake from Schubert's bakery decorated with baby bottles, ducks and building blocks. In addition to lotions, baby clothes, pajamas for Leslie and a diaper genie, the group bought Leslie a silver necklace engraved with Epicureaders and her name to match the ones the group purchased for their 4th anniversary. Lena bought a "Nemo" kite for Leslie's other two children, Lauren and Henry.
